About the Performance
Overture presents Yid Vicious on Saturday, December 12 at 9:30 AM, 11 AM and 1 PM. Don't let their name fool you: the seven members of this group have proven themselves to be decidedly soft and cuddly with a sweet and gooey center inside. Their Yiddish dance beats will have you bouncing out of your seats as you enjoy this special holiday performance, Hanukkah Rocks! With a musical arsenal of fiddle, clarinets, saxophones, accordion, French horn, tuba, guitar, Theremin and drums, Yid Vicious blends old world Yiddish dance tunes with new and unusual sounds!
This year's Hanukkah Rocks! concert features special guests Dave Adler (The Gomers, Ken Lonnquist's Kenland Band) and Maggie Weiser (So Dang Yang, Shakey). Join the Yid Vicious gang for traditional klezmer dance tunes alongside modern fare including a Klezed-up version of The Gomers' classic "Jewish Rapper” and Debbie Friedman's Hanukkah disco chestnut, "The Latke Song.”
